myth upnp doesn't work with capital letters on case sensitive filesystem

[mythtv@…]

I'm trying to use the mythtv uPnP server with an Archos 605 client. The client can browse, but returns errors when attempting to play files. I turned on -v upnp and can see the issue.

Here is a sample error:

2008-03-09 23:27:45.961 HTTPRequest::SendResponse(xml/html) (/myth/music/u2/achtung_baby/whos_gonna_ride_your_wild_horses.mp3) :404 Not Found -> 192.168.7.106: 2

The client is making the correct request, but the file isn't found. The reason it's not found is its actual path is /myth/music/U2/Achtung Baby/whos_gonna_ride_your_wild_horses.mp3 I'm on ext3, so it's case sensitive, and it's got a space in the path, not an underscore.

i created soft links to make the above path valid, and with that in place, the mp3 is streamed just fine.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but are you 100% sure that the client is making the correct request? (you have only included the server response, not the client request) Any chance of -v upnp,network

I don't have access to my system at the moment to try the additional logging, but I do have a packet capture I made last night of the traffic between the two systems. The requests & responses can be viewed in wireshark using the 'follow TCP stream' feature.

I do not know uPnP well enough to claim 100% certainty, but what I can see is that the client is sending back the identical HTTP request that is present in the browse response; also this HTTP request only references an ID, and doesn't include the filename, so it seems to me unlikely the client could be screwing it up.

I'll attach the pcap, and I will get the log messages when I am able.

capture showing file problem (happens toward the end)

Here is a relevant log exerpt with upnp,network:

well, it looks like this turns out to be user error. Sorry

What I think happened is, I had iTunes organize my music, so it renamed everything to the proper capitalized name - but I had already had my music organized by artist, so it kept essentially the same structure, just changed the case.

Later, I must've rsynced it onto my myth box, and it replaced the old structure there with the new one, and I didn't notice.

End result - a mythtv music DB that's out of sync in a stupid way that's not immediately apparent to casual human observation. My fault.

I rescanned my music collection, and viola, things work like you'd expect.

So, sorry for the wild goose chase.
